I made this pendant but am not all that happy about it.I like the stone but the silver just doesn't compliment the stone enough as gold would. My wife likes and that's what counts. You can all see that I need a lot of practice soldering but at least I didn't melt anything this time! The clasp isn't very good either as it will bend. Next time the clasp will be soldered much higher to the top prongs.I didn't notice it until I was buffing it and didn't want to try to re-bend the prongs so I could move the clasp solder joint. Hey,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Live and learn! connrock

Looks good Tom
Silver work as you say in your PM
Its difficult to get a good colour contrast with 2 light colours
That MA is goergous
Thanks for sharing
